    This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.

    As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.

    Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
    Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative

    As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.

    The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

    I agree that house appreciates on average at inflation + 1% but it is still not a bad investment because most likely everyone would be taking a mortgage. So what we need to find out is a equity return on house?

    For a 30 year mortgage and a 20% down payment, the house return on your invested equity of 20% by the end of 15 years is approximately equal to long term stock market return of 10%, even though the house is appreciating at inflation + 1%. This is because of deleveraging.

    However, if we do not refinance by the end of 15 years then the house becomes a bad investment and the returns go down.



    I beg to differ. House is a BAD investment. Historically houses appreciate approximately at the rate of inflation+1 or 2 % points.(Forget bubble years). Plus the costs(maintenance and property taxes) related to house ownership makes it a really BAD investment. Imagine putting money in an account which gives 2% returns and has 2% maintenance charges!

    House is a great place to live in. That is what should be in mind while buying a house.




    I agree. However if somebody thinks living in a bigger place brings a better quality of life, even then he/she does not need to buy at 3 times the cost of renting the same place. He can RENT. By buying you are bringing the quality of life down. At one time a place in my area which could be rent for appx 2000 dollars a month would take about 4000+ dollars to own with 30 year fixed. Reason? because rents reflect the buying power of the resident. Nobody gets a ARM for paying the rent!



    Yes. I am convinced that if you wait another year or so, ratio of cost of ownership and cost of renting will come to some sane levels and that is when people should think of buying. I am planning the same.

    In order to support other IV projects like admin fix letters, we need your support by joining Team IV. Currently we have reached a potential target of $7,200 in just one week. We need IVians to support Team IV to get this amount up to our goal of $45,000.

    US Citizens are coming forward to support us, we need to take that momentum one step forward with more IVians signing up with Team IV.

    Tuesday evening would be a Congressional Reception. After that we would have an IV meeting with members to discuss IV next steps etc. So keep departure flights to be late Tuesday night or after. I would highly recommend being in the Congressional Reception. You will get to meet several staffers and lawmakers here and talk to them.

    I wish I were there but, I booked my return on Monday. I am glad that IV is doing this event and wish more people come attend the event.

    One thing that I want to suggest is - if such a important event like congressional reception is done on last day of advocacy, most people may not be able to make it because many will want to get home and get back to work on Wednesday. This is just my personal opinion and I may not know the real reasons, I am sure IV core have planned things in the best possible way.

    I urge people to attend the congressional reception - this is very important. Lawmakers always want to mingle and socialize with minorities and immigrants because they want to know things first hand which are not covered by mainstream. This reception is a wonderful opportunity to mingle with law makers, industry leaders, and other people who are working for our cause.

    USCIS keeps on changing definition of Backlog as per their convenience.
    They should clearly tell how many cases in which category and which county are pending.

    We don't need complicated Backlog definitions such as below. Just be transparent and give us Black and White figures as to ascertain where some one stands in line. They may have their internal targets but we need to know BACKLOG from our point of view not USCIS production point of view


    The new definition in quantifies the backlog by basing the figure on the number of receipts during the previous number of months that corresponds with target cycle time (usually six) and the current pending count for a given application type. This calculated amount can then be used to assess and determine concrete production targets for backlogged application types and the resources necessary to meet those targets. Therefore, backlog is defined as the difference between pending and receipts for the number of months of target cycle time. (Backlog = Pending – Last Six Months’ receipts). This new definition of backlog better reflects the idea that as long as USCIS is processing its receipts within the designated target cycle time, there is no backlog for those applications as the pending count only reflects cases within [USCIS] target cycle time.



    [U]Another issue is out of turn issue of GC . Last year hundreds of visas were given away to people from 2005 AND 2006 PD even though people from 2003 and 2004 were left waiting. Just because DOS and USCIS have to clear the 144k visas before 30 Sept does not mean that they 'll issue Green cards to people who entered line much later.

    God help EB3I

    I am not offending any one and that is not even my intention.

    God already helped us with good jobs. EB3 I waiting numbers are around 60,000. I am sure at least 20,000 of them are either IV members or silent members. If half of 20K contribute just $100 (Hundred) dollars, that will be a million dollar kitty which will make HUGE impact during lame duck session. Any takers? But every one has to contribute.

    God will not come to our rescue when we can help ourselves.

    All moderators,


    Please watch out anything that comes out of Senator Kennedy's office...
    Some one in Kennedy's office is hell bent on getting rid of paragraph (5) in there....
    paragraph (5) is the one that gave us the 'soft' country limits...

    Here is the law text....

    http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/8/usc_sec_08_00001152----000-.html

    TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > Part I > � 1152

    (5) Rules for employment-based immigrants
    (A) Employment-based immigrants not subject to per country limitation if additional visas available
    If the total number of visas available under paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) of section 1153 (b) of this title for a calendar quarter exceeds the number of qualified immigrants who may otherwise be issued such visas, the visas made available under that paragraph shall be issued without regard to the numerical limitation under paragraph (2) of this subsection during the remainder of the calendar quarter.
    (B) Limiting fall across for certain countries subject to subsection (e) of this section
    In the case of a foreign state or dependent area to which subsection (e) of this section applies, if the total number of visas issued under section 1153 (b) of this title exceeds the maximum number of visas that may be made available to immigrants of the state or area under section 1153 (b) of this title consistent with subsection (e) of this section (determined without regard to this paragraph), in applying subsection (e) of this section all visas shall be deemed to have been required for the classes of aliens specified in section 1153 (b) of this title.



    If the 'soft quota' is gone...everything else is bullshit....

    Every time I see something come out of Senator's office....They always strike para 5...

    Nice work. pls continue to be vigilant with the bill langauge.

    I googled to find any cases similar to the one I have now, by no luck.

    My wife was out of status for more than 6 months while she was on H1-b by not working. To put her back on status, my attorney advised to make her go out of the country and come back on H4 visa. Her status now is H4 and has maintained it since the last entry to US. I have maintained my H1-B status since 3 years and got paid for every day.

    Is it possible, my I-485 is approved (primary applicant) and her I-485 denied (dependent) due to her prior out-of-status on H1-B? Her current status as mentioned in the I-485 forms is H4.

    Please advice.

    Thanks.

    yeah but thats not the kind of training NIIT would provide you (Assembly level stuff, parallel programming concepts etc). Such training institutes teach you programming, what mundada was talking about is software engineering.

    I stand corrected. I misunderstood his statement. I thought he was referring to a non-US degree. Yes, I agree, a sound theoretical foundation goes a long way.

    I am writing to the local congressmen, to request USCIS to apply the spillover visas to EB cases with older priority date first (irrespective of it's category or country). I hope this will help, if lot of these local congressmen/women contact USCIS to handle this spillover in a fair manner, allocating to older priority date cases first irrespective of category or country. All EB3 folks please take some time and do the same writing to your congressmen about this issue.

    Let us all try like this from our co workers. I think guys do not mind paying but are too lazy to write the check. So we need to chase them...

    One more technique, I have used.... give your friend $10 or $20 in cash & ask him to go online and contribute an amount by adding some money to your cash contribution...

    Has anyone asked attorney whether we can write our case number on the complaint letter without asking employer since LC(PERM) is filed by employer and the case number seems to belong to employer.

    My HR and company hired attorney are always not cooperative to my GC and I want to clear things.

    Don't take my question negative. I am fully supportive this 100% and appreciate guys very much. I am happy that we are doing something to make things better.
